Video: Wayne Rooney wins Goal of the Month for March

For a side whose title defence failed to ignite, Wayne Rooney’s 17 goals, 15
of them in the Premier League, mark his stature as a thoroughbred performer.

None has shown a sharper mind in scoring this season than the long-distance
strike at Upton Park on March 22. The game was still in its infancy, when
the England forward seized on a bouncing ball just inside the opposition
half and, seeing Adrián off his line, unleashed a dipping volley that left
the goalkeeper floundering as the ball bounced into the roof of the net.
